Investment Thesis
The step out from cash: 4.5% paid monthly from an actively managed short book that has delivered positive returns through every recent rate regime, including 2022. For money sitting idle, the risk-reward of that extra yield over T-bills is the entire pitch.
Who It's For
Cash-heavy investors stepping out of money markets for more yield without meaningful duration or credit drama.
